I appreciate the great article. Heroku has been my go-to platform for personal projects. I'll research these Heroku alternatives. You've given me a terrific place to start and saved me countless hours. Best wishes for your relocation!

Thank you. It was an enjoyable read. In 39 years, I can't wait to get my hands on the Multivac.

“In 2020, a team at the University of Texas, Austin, proposed the Ultimately Large Telescope, a 100-meter liquid mirror that would stare constantly at the same patch of sky for years on end from one of the Moon’s poles.”

It's great that we can or might be able to do this. Do we really want to send our garbage, er, research instruments, to other planets or moons [1]? Can we please gain knowledge without polluting or destroying the rest of the universe?

Thank you very much. I've noticed that a number of different YN posts are duplicates of previous entries[1]. Metadat makes a reference to 2019 and 2020. Is this typical? Are we looking at the same post again and again?

Please take note of the number of graphs that lack a zero on the y-axis[1]. Please explain each graph; otherwise, the wiggly lines are fascinating.
